So, is mirrored furniture a good idea gone bad or an elegant design statement that is reminiscent of a more eclectic era? It is a design statement that definitely seems to have longevity? I recently read an article written in 2001, in which design icon Barbara Barry was speaking about the mirrored furniture trend. You are still seeing these glamorous pieces in interiors today, so mirrored furniture seems to be here to stay. Anything can be cheapened or over done but don't let that keep you from enjoying something you like. Do it right and it will not come across as trendy.

Anyone who reads my blog regularly knows I love classical design and there will always be a classical image somewhere even in a post dealing with more contemporary design elements. Trendy really does not describe me. I believe that a good classical piece of furniture or a classical design element will always be in style as long as it is used correctly. I buy pieces for my home that I plan on becoming family heirlooms. My mirrored desk is one of those pieces.

So, is mirrored furniture a good idea gone bad or an elegant design statement that is reminiscent of a more eclectic era? I guess it depends on the individual.
